Check out our new [Guidelines]!

So what's new?

Everything!

------------------------------------------------

Posts

We encourage FFVII Amino members to engage with the rest of the community by posting content on the Amino. However; posts that are not FFVII related or violates the guidelines will be disabled by our staff members. A general rule of thumb, if you aren't sure it is appropriate, don't post it or ask a staff member first.

Spamming

Spamming is not only annoying, it is a punishable offense on this Amino. Spamming is the act of repeatedly messaging or posting the same content over and over again. Offenders of this rule will have to face the standard punishment policy of the FFVII Amino.

Public chats

Members of the FFVII Amino are more than welcome to create their own public chat rooms within this Amino so long as the content remains appropriate and follows the guidelines. Chats that contain NSFW content or extremely gorey content will be disabled by the Shinra Inc. :tm: staff immediately. Also, chats that remain minimally active for a month will be disabled and a staff member will message you about It. If this happens, you can have your chat re-enabled by following the instructions that one of our staff members provided you with.

Artwork and plagarism

Plagiarism is absolutely not allowed in the FFVII Amino. Plagiarism is the stealing of someone else's work and claiming it as your own. Plagiarism can vary from art tracing and copying several lines of text, to outright art theft and copying entire works. Violation of this rule, depending on the severity, could end up being a permanent ban for the perpetrator. If you are going to post someone else's work, be certain that you link and credit the source.

Harassment

The FFVII Amino has zero tolerance for harassment of any kind. There are three kinds of harassment, sexual, user, and staff. If there is ever a time where someone is harassing you and won't stop, please do not be afraid to message someone on the Shinra Inc. :tm: staff.

Sexual harassment

Sexual harassment encases any kind of harassment in a sexual manner. Imagery, messages, role-playing, blackmail, threats, ect. that is sexual will always result in a permanent ban for the harasser.

User harassment

User harassment encases any kind of harassment against a user. Threats, blackmail, false flagging, abusive messages, ect. that is hurtful or upsetting in some way to a user will follow our standard punishment policy.

Staff harassment

Staff harassment encases any kind of harassment against a Shinra Inc. :tm: staff member. Requesting knowledge of staff information or business, disregarding staff members, or framing staff members all count as harassment and will be treated with the standard punishment policy. If you feel a Shinra Inc. :tm: staff member is abusing their power, please contact one of the leaders with your concerns and evidence. Without evidence, it could be counted as staff harassment.

Advertising

The FFVII Amino asks that you do not post advertisements, such as links to other aminos or social media accounts on the amino, including public chats, private chats, posts, etc. You may post the links in your profile bio; however, links to Facebook are not allowed in anyway as it is too personal. If you wish to advertise, please consult with the Shinra Inc. :tm: staff for permission to advertise. Keep in mind, whatever you wish to advertise must have FF related content, preferably FFVII content. Advertising without permission will result in the standard punishment policy.

NSFW Content

Content that contains nudity, sexual poses or language, links to pornography, or anything else that falls under the sexual category is not permitted anywhere in Amino. Doing so will result in the content immediately being disabled and a permanent ban being placed on your account.

Gore content

Content that contains excessive gore is not permitted in this Amino. Failure to comply will result with the gorey content being disabled and a strike being placed on your account.

Age

The FFVII Amino does not allow members under the age of 13 to be in this Amino. This is also a part of Amino's terms of service. Please understand that certain experime- er... topics, conversations, imagery, etc. are not suitable for young eyes, which is why this rule exist all across Amino.

Off Topic Content

This Amino centers itself around the topic of FFVII and nothing else. Posts about other Final Fantasy games, other games in general and anything else that doesn't link to FFVII will be disabled/deleted. Chatting with others is the only time the Shinra Inc. :tm: staff will allow off topic content. Original characters are allowed as long as they link back to FFVII in some way.

Scamming

Scamming will absolutely not tolerated within the FFVII Amino. Scamming will result in a strike or ban, depending on the severity of the scamage. An example of scamming would be paying for something and not getting what you requested, not getting a decent quality product, or not getting anything at all. If you believe you have been scammed, please contact one of the caring Shinra Inc. :tm: staff members and provide evidence of the scammage.

Selfies

Selfies, unless showing off a FFVII cosplay, are not permitted to be posted and will result in the standard punishment policy. Within chats, it is left to the chat owner to decide if they will allow selfies being sent, unless they are sexual, which will result in an immediate ban.

Flagging

The Shinra Inc. :tm: staff will not tolerate false flagging, (flagging someone/something several times for no reason) as it falls under harassment. However, if someone flags something they genuinely thought was against the guidelines, there will be no sanction. This means it would only be flagged once if they truly believe there were guideline violations somewhere.

Role-playing

Here at the FFVII Amino, we encourage role-playing with other members, so long as the role-plays are within our established guidelines and are certainly not NSFW. There is an official public role-play chat here, but feel free to role-play with others in a private chat if you prefer 1x1 role-plays.

Punishment Policy

If you violate these established guidelines, the Shinra Inc. :tm: staff will issue an appropriate punishment using this system:

1st Warning

2nd Warning

3rd Warning

1st Strike

2nd Strike

24 Hour Ban

72 Hour Ban

Permanent Ban

Warnings will be given via private chat, whereas strikes and bans will be issued directly against your account. Our dutiful staff will only issue a strike or permanent ban immediately if it is extreme harassment, sexual posts or messages, and any other extreme event that occurs.

And that's all for the new changes and updates! Thanks for tuning in for your Midgar News. This was your President, Cloud, signing off. If you have any questions or comments or concerns please feel free to comment below.
